About this ebook
The Air-to-Water Handbook gives readers a structured way to make and verify those design decisions. Anthony Alexis explains room heat loss; performance at actual outdoor and water temperatures; radiant floors, radiators, and fan coils; hydronic flow, pressure loss, pumps, buffers, water quality, expansion, and freeze protection. Later chapters address domestic hot water, weather compensation, zoning, defrost, cooling and dew point, electrical backup, commissioning, balancing, troubleshooting, and owner handover.
The illustrated field-manual format combines 30 focused chapters with realistic system images, original decision figures, design cases, a water-side heat-transfer example, and reusable project worksheets. It helps readers keep design assumptions separate from measured performance and use manufacturer data at the correct operating point.
This book is a learning and planning companion for heat pump and hydronic projects. Final installations require site-specific calculations, product instructions, qualified design and commissioning, and applicable local rules.
